Searching by copyright licence

This topic shows you how to search for object records by copyright licence type. For information on how to access the various eHive search areas, please see the Help topic on Using the Search Page.

All object records in eHive are assigned a copyright licence which determines how the information and images on the record can be used. You can search eHive for records with a particular licence type using the search alias licence: followed by the code of the licence you would like to search for.

For example, searching for ‘licence: cc0’ would retrieve records with a No Rights Reserved (Public Domain) copyright licence.

Remember to tick the ‘Objects with images’ checkbox if you would like to limit your results to records with images.
